Yes indeed, now you have made your appearance, is the living-giver within sir? You mean my Master sir? You have hit it sir, praised be your understanding, I am to have conference with him, would you admit my presence. Indeed sir he is at this time not in health, and may not be disturbed. Sir, an a were in the pangs of childbed, I'd speak with him. Upon what cause gay-man? 'sfoot I think a be disturbed indeed, 'a speaks more commanding than a Constable at midnight. Sir, my lord and father, by me a lord, hath sent these lines enclosed, which show his whole intent. Let me peruse them, if they do portend To the States good, your answer shall be sudden, Your entertainment friendly; but if otherwise, Our meanest subject shall divide thy greatness, You'd best look to't Ambassador. Is your Mr. a Statesman friend? Alas no sir, a understands not what a speaks. ay but when my father dies, I am to be called in for one myself, and I hope to bear the place as gravely as my successors have done before me. Ambassador, I find your Masters will Treats to the good of somewhat, what it is You have your answer, and may now depart. I will relate as much sir, fare ye well. But stay, I have forgotten quite our chiefest affairs, Your Master further writes some three lines lower, Of one Maria that is wife to me, That she and I should travel now with you Unto his presence. Why now I understand you sir, that Maria is my sister, by whose conjunction you are created brother, to me a lord. But brother lord we cannot go this journey. Alas no sir, we mean to ride it, my sister shall ride upon my nag. Come then we'll in, and strive to woe your sister, I ha' not seen her sir, at least these three days, They keep her in a Chamber, and tell me she's fast asleep still, you and i'll go see, Content sir. Madmen and fools agree. When you have got this prize, you mean to lose me. Nay pree do not think so, if I do not marry thee this instant night, may I never enjoy breath a minute after; by heaven I respect not his pelf, thus much, but only that I may have wherewith to maintain thee. O but to rob my father, though 'a be bad, the world will think ill of me. Think ill of thee, can the world pity him, that near pitied any, beside since their is no end of his goods, nor beginning of his goodness; had not we as good share his dross in his life time, as let Controversy and Lawyers devour it at's death? You have prevailed, at what hour be't you intend to have entrance into his chamber? Why just at midnight, for then our apparition will will seem most fearful, you'll make away that we may ascend up like spirits?
